PS Vita struggles in Japan

Despite anticipation and strong reviews, the PS Vita’s version of LittleBigPlanet has failed to own the Japanese market.

Although the Japanese market tends to differ in some respects, the handheld market is fairly strong there – unfortunately, the sales for LBP on the Vita don’t reflect that.

According to Media Create, during LittleBigPlanet’s launch week, ending September 23, the game sold less than 6,000 copies in Japan; the handheld games that kept selling well were ported PSP games and 3DS titles, including Final Fantasy II for the PSP at number one.
